From KLSDAD


Hello Eric... and all!!
Many thanks for the original 3-D stills from your Circus World
View-Master stills. Wonderful!! Very sorry I missed the
experience!!
As you may know... the color IS STILL THERE!!
I used Adobe Photoshop to reduce the red.
(Sorry they’re not in 3-D! I'll leave that to Shannon!! ) SmileSmile
Here’s a sample of the first photo..

Circus World #1 (From Eric Beheim)


In 1977, VIEW-MASTER released a 3-reel packet of stereo (i.e. 3-D) photos taken at Circus World. (This was back when V-M was also offering 3-reel packets for most of the country’s big theme parks.) Unfortunately, the year the Circus World packet came out V-M switched from using Kodachrome film to a grainy, inter-negative film that eventually turns red and loses its color. Here, in somewhat faded glory, are all 21 images from the Circus World reels. None of the performers are identified, but most of you know who they are.

Circus World Reunion

Recently received this Circus World Reunion invitation from Dan Stapleton to be held next February.
However rapidly approaching my 80th Birthday I make it a policy not to plan anything more than eight days ahead.
